Make Changes to confusion in PVE

Am I alone here? I really hate confusion.. you can keep it in PVP for the chaos tree or whatever but it's the single most unfun and annoying gaming mechanic I think I have ever encountered and I am melee.. I can only imagine how annoying it must be for ranged/kite classes.

Or maybe put something similar to the stun limiter on it.. like if you have been confused you can't be confused again for 30 seconds or something?

**EDIT**
After several pages of discussion we have drilled down into the issue regarding this status effect. It seems the main problem with it is that it cannot be purged long enough from your character. Instead of removing it entirely from the game it would be a good idea to make changes to how long in between times you can be confused, you could get longer results using a more powerful purify spell for instance than you do with smelling salts.

We have also discovered that the cabalists which use confusion cannot be purged, this is mutually agreed by the majority to be a problem. These cabalists either need a new gimmick entirely or to have his confusion spell refresh at the same rate as regular confusion spells.

 

YES

 

Also! I know we have smelling salts but they just don't last long enough.

 

I hate it as well. But, I hope they never change it. Confusing the player and not just doing something to the toon is rare in games.

 

This is absolutely not a fun mechanic! However, you can mitigate it by using mouselook (right mouse button) together with turn left/turn right hotkeys. While you're using mouse look, those keys will strafe instead of turn and it ignores confusion.

 

Shh!

 

I hope they get rid of it, it's the single most unfun thing in the entire combat/pve part of this game.

 

I actually like confusion, except when it's from that cabalist that permanently confuses you, but other than that, confusion offers difficulty in dodging spells, abilities, or getting into cover to reduce a spells damage. It requires quick thinking, adjusting to the situation, or a quick reactionary spell to help yourself out of a possibly nasty situation.

I do not want this removed, but possibly balanced a bit from that stupid cabalist.

 

The only thing I don't like about confusion in PVE is that casting it on them doesn't seem to do anything.

 

I logged in just to throw a +1 to this confusion gotta go specially from the siege boss ( Nefas ) I believe it is.

 

When I made this thread I was fighting that cabalist. LOL

 

I agree that confusion is really annoying... You can understand why confusion is a real pain in the ass when you are the dedicated tank who get teleported at every 2 minutes + confusion.
Being teleported+confusion 150 times (not even exagerrate) for a 4-5 hours session of grinding make me mad. I already Alt+f4 after being teleported 4 times in row under the same minute.
This is not fun

 

I almost hit that point a couple of times, it's jus an irritating mechanic.. combat is already a jugglingact with combos/glyph and buff/debuff management + aggro management + cover mechanics + outdated UI.. and then a large portion of the monsters in this game can make your controls randomly backwards? It's irritating, it's not fun in the least its just stupid. it feels like something out of Mario Kart not an RPG.

 

Yeah, put them in the crown store.

 

now this guy gets it

 

Yeah, they should also just remove attenuation and make xp 10x from everything. This game is too hard.

If you are rage quitting the game because you get teleported, then you need to sort that out. You can always talk to a therapist, or do some meditation to maybe relieve some anger that you have.

 

Being dismissive is a sign of disrespect man. Be cool, he is entitled to his opinion.. he is just saying it's an annoying game mechanic.

 

This...never have a problem having something done to me that I can likewise return the favor.

 

There’s a lot to be said preparing yourself for battle. Certainly you wouldn’t go into a fight with Temna expecting to be able fight them the same way you would a timber wolf. Put purify on your bar. Use ranged attacks so you don’t have to move around too precisely. As melee, body slam and engage opponent keeps you close with out you having to figure out which way your going. If it’s still so hard that the challenge is stomach turning, then practice spinning your camera in a much easier zone. Cabalist are supposed to be HARD. Honestly they should be harder, not dumbed down. Confusion is one of the few uniquely challenging pve attacks. The rest is just fire, brute force and occasional poison.

It’s ok if things are hard. It’s ok if they are too hard for you, for now. Try harder, don’t beg to have the bar lowered.
